Friday Night on Park Street

On Friday we decided to head out to Park Street and try a new place. We new in the sense some place where we hadn’t been together or in a long while. So after the 3 of us walked up the steps and peeped into OLYPUB, we decided it wasn’t worth the wait at this packed watering hole and walked out to the street just outside Moulin Rouge. While waiting there and wondering what were the places to go to, we decided why not try Moulin Rouge itself. None of us had been there and didn’t quite know what to expect.

So as we walked in, we were rather surprised by the ambience. Quite contrary to the name, this place seemed like an eatery frequented by families rather than tipplers. So while were shown to our table towards the back right next to the refrigerator with all the raw sea-food on display I took stock of the place and we were quite sure that the shooting of Parineeta happened in this restaurant. Anyway a couple of beers and some chilli chicken and Bhetki were enough to set us up for the evening ahead. Well the food wasn’t that great really and we were glad we didn’t order much.

After that we headed to Some Place Else and listened to Hip Pocket after a long time. They seemed to have experimented a bit and brought in a new sound into their covers of the usual songs that they play. The lead riffs are more experimental and I kind of liked their versions of the Pink Floyd and other covers that they played. I could venture to say they had Hip Pocketed the songs they played.

Band: Hip Pocket
Samidh – Bass / Vocals
Sumit – Guitar
Rishi – Guitar / Vocals
Shom – Keyboard
Nondon Bagchi – Drums / Vocals

I waited for the next act called Catch 22. They were what liked a composition of members from various bands. They sounded very much like Urban Reflektion because of their lead singer and especially the funky songs they played. The band has spunk and is peppy enough to get your spirits high on a Friday night.

Band: Catch 22
Guitars: Rohyt and Rajkumar
Bass: Bijit
Drums: Deboprotim
Vocals: Satrujit
Labels:

The 7 Wonders at Eco Park

Pyramid & Sphinx Our last excursion to Eco Park in Rajarhat dates all the way back to February 2015. Since then, a myriad of transformations has swept through the park. During a recent journey to the airport, we caught sight of the park's latest additions, which had become the talk of the town, visible from Biswa Banga Sarani. That sighting ignited our decision to revisit the park. Naturally, we concurred that visiting on a weekend would be an exercise in chaos, so we opted for a weekday to fully savor the wonders that awaited us. To our surprise, even on a weekday, the park teemed with visitors. Upon entering Eco Park for a nominal fee of Rs. 30, we were immediately struck by the sheer value it offered. Personally, I would have willingly paid more for the privilege of glimpsing these marvelous creations. Rather than expound further, I'll let the images convey the essence of what lies within. That being said, it unquestionably merits an in-person visit to truly appreciate ...

HAL Heritage Centre and Aerospace Museum

I was in Bangalore and this was the only place I actually wanted visit. So here I am taking the tour of India's first aerospace museum located at the HAL facility (opposite the old Bangalore Airport) spread over 4 acres. The displays of actual aircraft are very cool and so are the galleries showing historical pictures and evolution of HAL and its contribution to the nation in Military Aircraft as well as Aerospace. The disappointing thing at the end of the tour was the Gift shop, where I was hoping to find Scale Models of Aircraft and other Memorabilia from the IAF (Indian Air Force), but instead it was a dreary sight to see a shelf which housed Handicrafts! That just didn't make any sense whatsoever. Anyway for those of you who would like to visit this wonderful Museum, the details are below: HF-24 Marut 1T (D1698) IAF MIG-21 Bison (Trainer Version) HAL HJT-36 Sitara (IJT), Intermediate Jet Trainer Prototype. HAL Tejas mock-up (LCA) Light Weight...
